Thirty seconds in and I'm feeling like you shouldn't rely of this fellow. Here's the critic aggregate of the series https://comicbookroundup.com/comic-books/reviews/dc-comics/green-lantern-(2018) I don't think it's Morrison's strongest stuff, but it's real prepared to get odd and go all over the place, which I dig. The tone and art is like nothing else current from the big two. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Jul 26, 2019 |

It’s weird sci-fi pulp. If you like Morrison’s space stuff, it’s a lot of fun. There’s an overarching story, but most of the issues have different tones and subplots. There’s a good GL/GA issue that’s a love letter to the classic series coupled with Morrison’s signature strangeness. That’s worth picking up on its own.

Eh, "all of comics" is a huge topic to learn about using only primary sources. Even if you're sticking with one of the big two there's gonna be some gaps in your knowledge and a character who's been around for thirty years but you know nothing about is gonna show up in Avengers or Justice League and you're going to want to know what there deal is. Edit: Don't get me wrong, most of those types of videos are loving terrible, but I get both impulse to create them and to watch them.

As for the Green Lantern question, it is Morrison being Morrison while using the Green Lantern character. If you like Green Lantern, you probably won't like the comic. If you like Morrison you probably will. I personally like the artwork so whatever. For me the problem is that the series seems pretty aimless despite Morrison adding his usual "big ideas" to every issue. In fact, Morrison seems more interested in "big ideas" than "story", so if you like seeing Hal Jordan shout "Earth you are you are drunk and under arrest" but don't care to see any follow up this might be the comic for you. I just wish the comic would actually go somewhere. As it stands, Morrison is just playing around in galactic DC but pretty much ignoring anything Green Lantern related besides Hal Jordan.

I think I "got into comics" before actually ever reading one by just reading wikipedia articles on like, every character I was interested in (and then all the characters and stories that linked to and so on and so forth) So if you don't want to read a bunch of comics but do enjoy a character from another form of media and are curious to find out some about them (and if maybe you like the youtuber's personality or whatever) Youtube is hardly a poor choice for a beginner learning about comics.

Good article on DC's precarious position as a very small component of AT&T's megastructure. Raises a lot of points that should be considered when trying to figure out DC does something that seems to make very little sense. https://www.forbes.com/sites/robsalkowitz/2019/07/31/where-does-dc-fit-in-atts-vision-for-warnermedia/#1d51704579b7 Sample: quote:It’s telling that in a long profile of AT&T CEO John Stankey this morning in Variety, DC was one of the only WarnerMedia brands that was not mentioned. To the extent that DC matters at all in the company’s future, it’s as a source of owned IP for other media channels and as a lifestyle brand to serve as an ambassador to geek culture.

I liked it. Airwave is one of those characters I always wonder why more isn’t done with. We also got those Sonic the Hedgehog looking radio wave aliens from when Morrison and Millar were writing the Flash.

I've been doing an undertaking of reading all Batman and family comics since the Golden Age. I am up to Detective #102 and Batman #74. I have come to the conclusion that all Golden Age Batman stories up to where I have read are trash unless a "supervillain" shows up. The penguin stories are usually the best. Everything with the Mobsters is absolute garbage and literally the same story every time. Now the backups are something else. Crimson Avenger is always super racist and just junk stories. Slam Bradley is a weird action-comedy that isn't terrible, but also not memorable beyond knowing Slam's sidekick gets killed off panel in the 60s or 70s by drug dealers. Airwave is an interesting character in the beginning, but is a one trick pony and he never has a story that isn't him versus mobsters. The art gets wild in late Airwave stories though. Three Ring Binks is really hard to read, but what I have deciphered are not bad comedy stories. Boy Commandoes started pretty good, but the art has started to suffer and the stories get real racist when it has to deal with the Japanese. The other stories like Spy and some of the other detectives that have long been left behind were all trash art and stories.

I know the Scarecrow appears in one of the issues for one of his 2 or 3 golden age appearances. I think I will go back and read them once I hit 1950 and bring it all up to speed. Right now I am trying to get to the silver age where the stories will get better. Edit: Golden age alfred is also an amateur detective who is played as comedy relief and randomly loses like 100 pounds and gains more hair after going to a spa for a weekend in an issue. Golden Age commissioner Gordon is a nonentity too. Alfred may have appeared in more stories at this point. Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Aug 1, 2019 |

I was actually thinking of Silver Age stuff. Most of Neal Adams' early Batman work that wasn't just covers was in World's Finest. Including an issue where Superman recruits Batgirl and Batman recruits Supergirl to help take out the other at the behest of a pair of feuding aliens that turn out to be a single actor who's dying and thought fooling Batman and Superman would be his greatest and final performance He also had a daily newspaper comic strip starting in the 40's, I used to have this collection I think. It didn't have the Sunday strips, I think because the Sunday strips would be a different serialized story. Except for a single joker story it's all mob stuff, they saved the supervillains for the color strips. One of the stories is about how impossible it is to find an affordable apartment in Gotham, which is still relevant today to a distressing degree.

Weirdly, Superman and Batman don't actually crossover at all in World's Finest until issue 71 in 1954. Prior to that they have goofy team-up covers, but inside there are entirely separate Batman and Superman stories every issue. The plot of their first team-up in World's Finest is essentially "Superman accidentally reveals his secret identity to Lois Lane, and goes to his bro Batman and they proceed to gaslight her by having her repeatedly "discover" that Batman is really Clark Kent, Superman is really Bruce Wayne, Bruce Wayne is Batman, Batman is Superman, etc. until she gives up and decides it was all some sort of weird prank." Their first-first meeting was only two years earlier in Superman #76, which involves Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent both taking a cruise and accidentally getting double booked to share a cabin. This story inspired a very weird Joe Kelly Superman/Batman Annual and also probably some very early slash fiction. Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Aug 1, 2019 |

This is one of the reasons I was debating not reading world's finest until I do Superman. I'll be honest I am skimming a lot of the Golden Age Batman's unless a supervillain show up or the story looks interesting. The Joker also shifts from murderer to guy who just elaborately steals weird items by his 5th or 6th appearance too. Oh and the Cavalier while a weird villain has 3 just weird stories that feel like Silver Age comics trapped in the golden age. Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Aug 1, 2019 |
